LEADERS In each class a few boys, because of their abilities, stand out as leaders. They have taken a greater interest in extra-curricular activities and have accepted the responsibility of determining the career of their class. To them falls the blame when the class declines, and in like manner they receive the credit when it succeeds. In our class they have been Lloyd Ulman — President of the General Organization, and of his class, Abraham Lubarsky — Editor-in-chief of the Crimson and Gold, and Treasurer of the General Organization; Joseph Buchler — Leader of the Arista Assembly, and President of the Senior Class; Alan Often — Treasurer of the General Organization, and of his class for four terms; Austin Goldman — Editor-in-chief of the Stadium; Daniel Rothbaum — Managing Editor of the Stadium; Richard Reuben — Managing Editor of the Crimson and Gold; Richard Stoller — Secretary of the General Organization, and Editor of the Handbook. If our class has been outstanding in any respect, these boys deserve the praise. TWENTY-ONE

THE SENIOR There comes a time in the career of every Harrisite when he must leave high school to advance on the road to higher knowledge. At that time it is customary for him to look back and see what he has gained during his three years stay in secondary school. His past becomes an open book, as the worth of his every accomplishment is weighed in the light of what was expected of him. When the June, 1936 Seniors take stock of what they have de- rived and what they have achieved, during their sojourn at Harris, they find that they have left behind an enviable record of which they long will be proud. Their scholastic accomplishments were un- excelled; but they have wisely gone beyond the realm of academics. The fact that so many members of the class entered into extra- curricular activities is an indication that they will, in later life, form a useful part of their community. Certainly the class has had more than its share of leaders, some of whom will continue, no doubt successfully, in the fields in which they were active in Harris. At any rate, it is hard to imagine that those many boys who have so capably managed branches of student activity can fail to succeed in later life. It remains only to be seen whether the Seniors are actually prepared for advancement. They have spent only three years at high school, instead of the usual four, and it is possible that they are not yet ready for college. However, they have on numerous occasions proved their maturity; they have shown that they are more than con- scious of what is ahead of them. We can thus safely say that every senior who is called up to receive his high school diploma on Commencement Day will deserve, to the fullest extent, the honor being conferred upon him. TWENTY
